Sarah Dickson, Chief Executive of CPA UK, shares a few words about our values

"I joined the organisation in January 2024, and when I first joined, everybody spoke about how much of a cohesive team this is. One of our values is teamwork and professionalism. Everybody helps everybody out, and we all work together towards a common goal.

We're also a publicly funded body, and the team has showcased our other value, commitment to delivery and accountability to what we do. That's because we want to show value for money in how we deliver projects.

CPA UK is an organisation that works globally across the commonwealth, and the commonwealth represents a real diversity and variety of countries, and we also represent a diversity within the UK Parliament. So we, as a team, have the values of diversity and inclusion at the centre of everything we do, so we can show that we are reflective of the whole of the UK Parliament and also relate to those countries across the globe."
